Mercedes-Benz S-Class
The S-Class is a full-size sedan locked in a fierce battle with the Audi A8 and BMW 7 Series, among others. Following a complete redesign for 2021, it doesn’t benefit from major changes for 2023. The lineup includes three models: 500 4MATIC, 580 4MATIC and Maybach 580 4MATIC. The last one is almost double the price of a base S-Class. Both the 3.0-litre six-cylinder engine and 4.0-litre V8 are turbocharged and backed by mild hybrid technology.
